RASC News Agency: The recent disclosure by local authorities of the Taliban group in Kapisa province sheds light on a tragic incident involving a 13-year-old boy who took his own life. As detailed in a bulletin released on Wednesday, January 10th, by the security command of the Taliban group, this distressing event unfolded in the village of Qala-e-Afghanha in the Rig Rawan area, situated at the center of Kapisa province.
The security command’s bulletin furnishes additional details on the incident, revealing that the young boy, identified as Mohammad Ramin, hanged himself within his family’s residence, bringing an end to his life.
According to the security command of the Taliban group in Kapisa province, the motive behind this act was attributed to “family enmity.” The precise circumstances surrounding this family dispute remain undisclosed, leaving numerous questions unanswered. The loss of such a young life serves as a poignant reminder of the critical need to address mental health issues and cultivate a supportive environment for individuals grappling with challenges within their families and communities.
Despite the Taliban’s assumption of control over the country leading to a notable surge in suicides and family violence among citizens in various provinces, it is crucial to acknowledge that citizens are the primary victims in most cases. A recent incident serves as a stark illustration of this troubling trend, as a 35-year-old man used a hunting gun to shoot and kill his father in the face in the Nejrab district of Kapisa province.
Experts and individuals acquainted with the situation attribute this escalation in family violence to a myriad of factors, encompassing poverty, economic challenges, mental health issues, a dearth of education, and other crises pervasive in the country.
